Even though Frazer McLaren ended up being scratched last night and replaced with Troy Bodie, the Worst Line in Hockey moniker was still apt as the Leafs 4th line had CF%s of: Smithson - 42.9%, Orr - 20%, Bodie - 10%. That's just staggering in it's displayed ineptitude for how to play the game of hockey. Final TOI tallies were:

Jerred Smithson - 5:52

Colton Orr - 7:27

Troy Bodie - 6:30

For a total of 19:49 of pure suckage making our winners @KeenanJS and @Connor11Findlay. Congratulations boys! There is no prize.
